I have a question for you.
Does getting "saved" change you overnight?
For example:
A man smokes weed for years and has a bit of an addiction and goes to church and gets "saved" and although he cuts down a bit he continues to smoke weed and all the while people who see him do this call him a hypocrite (in their minds) because smoking weed is not the christian thing to do.... - are they right?
V
Do you expect that because he got "saved" - that he would quit all those bad habits, addictions, etc. immediately?
Or
A young woman is having sex with her significant other and gets "saved" at church and they cut down on having sex but don't stop it completely on the day she got saved....but over time
v. Stopping all fornicating ASAP.
If you get "saved" and you don't stop those things right away - what do you think of that? How do you deal with that? Do you automatically assume a person is not a christian and are you right if you do? Are there really babies in christ vs. more mature christians?
Please someone explain and if I'm not being clear, please let me know.
